MJF Says Tony Khan Is Going To Make Him A Very Rich Man In 2024, Says If He Went To WWE His Name Would Be “Mordecai Schmeckel Jr”

MJF spoke to Tony Khan and thanked him for making him a very rich man in 2024 when he signs his new deal with the company.

AEW posted a video that revealed what happened after the 200th episode of AEW Dynamite went off the air earlier this week in a segment which was all about thanking Tony Khan.

Even MJF would take a microphone and say a few words, thanking Tony for making him a very rich man come 2024.

“I wanted to come out here and just tell a very quick story. Now when this company was started in 2019, prior to that, there was only one show in town if you wanted to make real money, and the name of that place was WWE. Around that time, there was most certainly interest in MJF. But there was a part of me that thought if I went there, my name might be Mordecai Schmeckel Jr., and I might have to walk out with a dreidel on or something. But then there was a visionary, and there was also a bunch of men called The Elite, and there was also a guy who, let’s face it, we haven’t always gotten along, but there was Chris Jericho, who took a serious leap. All of them created an alternative, and that alternative gave opportunities for guys like your AEW World Champion who’s over as fuck, to get to be the versions of ourselves we wanted to be,” 

“So Tony, what I wanted to say to you, from the bottom of my heart, is thank you. Thank you for making me a very rich man come 2024 because there’s going to be a big bargaining…but okay, now I’m getting ahead of myself. But in all sincerity, I’m not the only person who wants to thank you, Tony Khan. [AEW roster comes to the stage] It ain’t 2024 yet. Get loud, Tampa. Let’s go,”

MJF

On this week’s Dynamite, MJF announced that he would be facing off with Adam Cole in the main event of AEW All In later this month.

We will have to wait and see if MJF will continue being such a quality babyface or if the other shoe will drop and he will become a heel once again.
